Another LRPD Officer arrested for domestic violence

Little Rock Police officer Muhammad Yaqeen was arrested by his fellow employees for yet another incident of domestic violence involving a LRPD officer.

The arrest/disposition report states that Yaqueen punched his wife during an argument and that LRPD officers observed injuries to her face and arms.

According to LRPD spokesman Eric Barnes, LRPD responded around 11:30 p.m. Monday December 23rd to a report of an assault/domestic disturbance.

Tiffany Yaqueen told officers she and her husband got into an argument, so she went outside to get in her car to leave.

Yaqueen followed, Mrs. Yaqueen told police, and while he was standing outside the car, he dropped his phone. She said she tried to pick it up and Muhammad began “struggling” to take it back, according to the report.

She said he then punched her in the side of the head. Officers observed blood on her left ear and swelling under her left eye.

Muhammad Yaqeen told officers a different explanation of what happened. He said he was outside the car when his wife “snatched” the phone out of his hand. He said he tried to reach into the car to get it, and his wife punched him in the eye.

Yaqueen said he then punched his wife in self-defense. Officers reported that they observed a bruise under Muhammad Yaqeen’s left eye.

Officers took possession of Muhmmad Yaqeen’s service weapon, as well as his badge and identification.
 
The couple was further interviewed, according to the report, and police arrested Muhammad Yaqeen.
 
Yaqueen's only prior disciplinary record that is releasable to the public is from 2017 and involves and incident were he damaged a police cruiser when a shotgun discharged inside the vehicle and caught a one day suspension.

Yaqueen has been relieved of duty and an internal investigation is underway and he remained in jail at the time of publication. He is set to appear in Little Rock District Court for a plea and arraignment hearing on December 30th at 8:30 am.

Back in October another LRPD officer, Jonathan Walker,  was involved in a domestic violence incident.

Walker and his baby mama, Katina "Pug" Jones, a fired former LRPD recruit (more on that later) got into it.

Our FOI request for additional records, including video and audio recordings from the Walker/Jone incident were denied due on-going investigations.

Jones and 2 other recruits were fired for questionable social media posts.

We made that story famous back in 2017. Click here for our initial  post.

Here is what the Arkansas Times reported:

No telling how many turds that particular recruit school will turn out.

We also reported on two other LRPD officer involved in a domestic violence incidents earlier this year. You can read that post by clicking here.

Officer Ahmed "Jack" Soliman was ultimately fired. However Officer Terry McDaniel lucked out when his baby mama refused to cooperate and go through with a criminal complaint as child support trumped getting abused.

Nationally, police officer domestic violence is a serious problem. One that is often swept under the rug by law enforcement agencies.

One of our followers sent us a full frontal nude photo of Yaqeen that he allegedly sent his mistress. Maybe this is what caused the argument with his wife.

This type of behavior reflects very poorly on the Little Rock Police Department
and needs to be addressed by LRPD command staff.

If they had balls they would fire his sorry, wife-beating ass ASAP.

We asked Chief Humphrey about the arrest and photo and his response was "No comment".

Stay tuned for updates on the Yaqueen and Walker investigations.

Little Rock's 44th homicide was a secret - until we found out.

On November 20, 2019 at approximately 11:52 pm, Arkansas State Trooper Michael Kyle Ellison (26, Benton, AR) committed the 44th homicide of the year in the city of Little Rock.

Trooper Michael Kyle Ellison has record of committing two homicides

He killed Brian Brooks, (22, Little Rock, AR) by ramming his 2015 Honda Civic in a PIT maneuver, catapulting Brooks' vehicle off the road into a ditch striking a tree.

Brian Brooks - Little Rock's 44th homicide victim of 2019

The incident with Brooks started in Sherwood when Sherwood police attempted to stop Brooks for an alleged traffic violation.

Sherwood police alleged Brooks refused to pull over and gave chase.

Brooks allegedly fled from Sherwood to Little Rock where Ellison joined in the chase.

You already know how the chase ended.

It was a secret until we found out about it. 

The Arkansas State Police, the Little Rock Police Department and the City of Little Rock wanted to sweep it under the rug. 

44 homicides makes Little Rock look like a dangerous place. Especially when three of them were committed by law enforcement officers.

But Little Rock is a dangerous place. In fact it is consistently listed at the most dangerous city of its size.

Little Rock has a violent crime index shockingly higher than the national average.

This is not the first time Ellison has committed a homicide.

The first time was back in 2016 when he was employed by the Benton Police  Department.

Ellison shot and killed a suicidal high school student as he was following Ellison's commands to lower a handgun the student had pointed at his own head.

That homicide resulted in a lawsuit and Ellison and the Benton Police Department.

Brian Brooks homicide is the subject of an internal investigation conducted by the Arkansas State Police.

Lt. Darren Austin is the lead investigator.

We have sent FOI requests to Sherwood PD and the ASP for any video recordings and other records.

We expect them to stall claiming on-going investigations.

Stay tuned for updates.



 

Evidence indiciates that LRPD cops let an intoxicated, naked Conway cop leave the city without any charges as a favor to one of their own.

LRPD cops let a fellow intoxicated cop from Conway, Cebron Hackett,  slip out of  Little Rock after stripping naked and dancing at Discovery night club on October 13, 2019.

TV news coverage shows the LRPD cops treating Hackett much differently than they would have anyone else.

 

Their actions or rather lack of actions, violate their oaths of office and departmental policy.

Hackett should have been charges with public indecent exposure (Ark. Code Ann. 5-14-112) and public intoxication (Ark. Code Ann. 5-71-212).

Will they face any consequences. Doubtful. LRPD is Corrupt from the top down.

All three officers working off-duty side jobs claim the work was police related.

One of those cops should have been fired years ago when he lied in an internal and criminal investigation. 

Curtis Van Pelt - Why is is still employed and FTR with his corrupt history?

Officer Curtis Van Pelt was working an unauthorized off-duty side job at another club back in 2010 when he failed to file a report and take action on an incident that happened at Jazzi's.

Then during the internal and criminal investigation for that incident, Van Pelt  contacted witnesses and tried to influence their statements and lied in an internal and criminal investigation.

Van Pelt got two days for the April violations.

And instead of getting fired for lying in the additional incident (his suspension letter says he was "untruthful") and having his law enforcement certification pulled, Van Pelt only got 30 days.

Curtis Van Pelt and about 50 other LRPD officers that have issues with credibility  should not be police officers. We have all of them listed on our LRPD Liars List.

Van Pelt also had another brush with policy violations back in 1996 that did not result in a suspension.

Officer Kenneth Baker was suspended in 2014 for wrecking his patrol vehicle and making repairs on it with another officer.

Officer Kenneth Baker

  
Baker got a day off for that.

Officer Chertieu Jones was a School Resource Officer until an incident this year.

Officer Chertieu Jones

  
Jones failed to make an arrest (big surprise there) and used excessive force on a student at Henderson Middle School

Jones got 16 hours off and reassigned for those violations. 

That leave us with Officer Kenneth Thompson, Jr.

Officer Kenneth Thompson, Jr.

Thompson has not been suspended but apparently has a disciplinary history as well according to what LRPD stated in a FOI response to us.

"No releasable history" means that he violated a policy and got in trouble but was not suspended.

Thompson was the only officer not working off-duty that night and he is the officer that can be seen in the video from the Discovery club's CCTV recording in the video posted above.

It's crystal clear that all of these officers gave their buddy cop a break.

It's time for Chief Humphrey to clean house at his department. 

If he can't or won't do it, then he need to move on too.

Conway PD suspended officer Cebron "Chippendale" Hackett for 30 days.

Like most other police departments, Conway PD has policy that governs an officers behavior on and off-duty.

Hackett made a public apology on his personnel Facebook page.

This is not all of the problems Hackett is facing. 

The city of Conway was just served notice of garnishment on an old debt he has refused to pay.

We guess that the title company involved in his home purchase this year missed that judgment against him that attaches to any real estate he owns in the state.

Stay tuned for updates!
